The Montague sibling books have always been wonderful. The characters have grown and developed but maintained their spunk. This is a fitting end to the siblings' journeys- largely happy endings. they all deserve that.

I did learn something though: I probably should not read books told in the first person where the protagonist has GAD. Because wow. Adrian and I were having twin breakdowns and it made it very hard to get through the book.

Lee has some of the best descriptions of what anxiety feels like and how extreme attacks can be over the smallest thing. I waited a long time for my library to get the audiobook in and it took like a chapter and a half for me to start having breakdowns. 

Good times.

Set in 18th century Europe, so the sexism, homophobia, racism and shitty take on mental health are to be expected. No on page suicide attempt, someone else recounts theirs, years ago.
